i've been in the EZBot Discord for awhile:
"Matthew Piecora, aka EZBOT, is a Seattle-based artist and educator, who specializes in hardware electronic music."
it was actually the EZBot Discord where i first learned of 'weeklybeats' around end of 2021, so i joined up in 2022. it was a proud year for me, since i finished all of Jamuary(on insta), and also hit all 52 weeks of 2022 on weeklybeats(although, since then, i've removed 2 tracks from that year of weeklybeats as they didn't feel like me). so i feel i owe some props to EZBot...
here's an invite in case anyone might be interested in joining his discord(they chill there over various things electronic music and artistic, plus some other stuff here and there - they're a very chill group of like-minded, talented creative-types).

EZBot, himself, does some educational videos, mostly dealing with Elektron hardware, and handed out a bank of 50 wavetable files for free, to complement a recent video he did explaining features of the 'Elektron Tonverk' recently.
I don't have any of the Elektron hardware, but was curious to try his wavetables, so i set about making a Max patch and algorithmically sequenced a weird/creepy melody, iterating that in random ways(mostly just 'rotating/shifting' the sequence at randomly chosen lengths), along with a drum loop i had lying around from long ago when i made some drum loops incorporating prepared piano samples(described in a previous week's weeklybeat of mine), and finally mixed in a separate complex 'FM vs PM in gen~' max patch made by someone else i found on the Cycling74 forums(mixing max patches is easy as you just open up several at once and then route them together using paired [send~]/[receive~] objects, sometimes it can add complexity real easily, especially if you want to use other people's instruments/patches like an additional plugin-like instrument).
Anyways, long story short, did not have time this week until Saturday, so this is somewhat another 'speed trash' track i made using the above mentioned string of things.

the following is just my own part of all the patching i used, which has comments on how to get it going included, but there's a bunch of send/receives which are meant to link and sync to the other FM patch linked above:

caution: although all loud peaks are caught by a mastering limiter, the volume while sometimes quiet, can at other times creep up on ya.. wink

Thanks for being patient enough to check it out heart
